Snowbasin - Never been Deeper!
Today was the greatest ski day of my entire life! That's saying a lot, considering I live in Utah and ski over a 120 days a year. I'll let the video we shot Tuesday at Snowbasin do the taking.
Did I mention there is more snow on the way! Check out this forecast. Remember, that's in addtion to the 30'' that we've received in the last 3 days!
Tonight: Windy. Numerous snow showers in the evening...then snow likely after midnight. Accumulation 2 to 4 inches. Lows near 10. Northwest winds 25 to 35 mph early in the evening. Chance of snow 70 percent.
Wednesday: Snow. Accumulation 5 to 10 inches. Highs near 20. Chance of snow 90 percent.

It might well have been us 4 gondolas behind you. I did only lose one. The liftie had even loaded them, so I consider myself blameless. He loaded them base to top though...I think base to base is more secure.

I think we were 4 gondolas in front of you. I remember hearing someone say where is my ski? You only lost one right?

I was there last Tuesday also. Wow, calling in at work was a great decision. What an epic ski day. And a bit crazy...delayed opening, power outage all day, then on my second gondola ride, one of my skis blew off! A companion found the ski, but it was 11:30 and had only 1 run under my belt. Made up for it in the afternoon, getting face shots until the end.

Dave, while I haven't been to as many cool places as you. I'd have to say those 6 hours spent on the slopes at Snowbasin Tuesday were far and away the most enjoyable 6 hours of my life.

My family and I skied Snowbasin also on Jan 29th. Your video made us grin from ear to ear. That day was the most epic ski day of my life. I've experienced a few things - Hawaiian beaches, Niagra Falls, Venice, Paris, Tokyo, Old Faithful - but skiing this week in over 3 feet of the fluffiest powder may just top all of them. :)

You should try it, go to Brighton if you have never skied, but if you want go to Snowbird if you are a good all around skier.
